This is assuming that wormholes even exist.

I am also assuming that what people see on the sci-fi channel are special effects; that these special effects are made for the sake of Hollywood - and that they may or may not be scientifically accurate.

I accidently spilled draino on my carpet. What can I use to neutralize the spill to limit the damage?
Drano leaked out of a box that was stored in my living room. Moved the box the other night and noticed a bleached spot on carpet. Used lots of water to try to clean up spill. Ran carpet cleaning machine over spot several times to try to help. Still smell strong "bleach" smell from spot. Carpet fibers are damaged, and can be easily pulled out. Need advice to find something to neautralize leftover draino to limit additional damage.

I know it sounds naive but I have seen so many instances of abuse and wonder at what point the societal cost of a drug outweighs the benefits. I just don't understand.

if I see the big dipper from my front porch one night at 10PM, and it's about 60 degrees above the horizon, should I expect to see it at 10PM the next night at about 60 degrees above the horizon, also?

I think the calculation is:
666=2^2+3^2+5^2+7^2+11^2+13^2+17^2,
the sum of the squares of the first seven primes.

In hex, I think his calculation remains the same:
666=2^2+3^2+5^2+7^2+b^2+d^2+11^2=29a, not 666.

I never liked the explanation that 7 is God's number, and Satan is one less, 6, but repeated 3 times.To me this is not a calculation; to me a calculation doesn't depend on radix.

Why is this the calculation? I don't know but I think this is a 7-dimensional wave number. I think God's number is calculated:
7 = 1^2+1^2+1^2+1^2+1^2+1^2+1^2.

Scientists have said it is more a matter of location in time than in space, but shouldn't it have had a physical origin point? If not, why not? If so, about where did it happen?

I was told that an acre measures 200 x 200 and according to the engineer that is incorrect. What is the real dimensions and what does it equal in square feet.
